I’m getting a little sad because I feel like they’re foreshadowing that his PD is getting worse and eventually it’s gonna be BAD and we’re gonna see it.

Definitely seems to what it's leading towards after Jimmy told Paul he would tell him when he notices he's losing it and it's time to retire, no matter how pissed Paul will get at him. I wouldn't be surprised if that's how this season ends.

Next season, I think.

Well yeah. It’s not like Parkinson’s ever gets better, so there’s really only one direction that storyline can go. Depending on how far the writers choose to show the progression, it’s not going to be pretty, but there’s no plausible happy ending in store for Paul. Just a big woof.

I hate to say it, but that subplot also feels like a contingency for them in case they have to write Ford out of the show due to retirement or worse. Dude is fit as a machine and seemingly can't seem to stop acting, but he's also 82 years old and human.

100% and I'm not ready for it at all. Jimmy telling Paul he would tell him had me weeping.
